The area of a rectangle is equal L x W
4 cm longer than it is wide L = 4 + <span>W
</span>
L x W = 117 we replace L here
(4 + <span>W ) x W = 117
</span>
4W + W ^2 = 117
<span>4W + W ^2 -117 = 0
</span>W ^2 +4 W -117 = 0
W² + 4W - 117 = 0
<span>
THEN u want to use the </span>use the quadratic formula
OR Factoring gives us
(W + 13)(W - 9) = 0
W = -13 or 9
But it can't be negative, so
W = 9 and L= 9+4 = 13
Part 1. When x=0, then y=900 (from the graph). This means that y-intercept is at point (0,900).
Answer Part 1: 900
Part 2. The y-intercept is at point (0,900). This means that at x=0 (loads), the total amount of dirt to remove is 900 cubic feet.
Answer Part 2: the total amount of dirt to remove.
Answer: 15.7 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).
Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.
First they reduce their time by 
2.1 minutes.
Then they are able to reduce that time by 
10
If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then
Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.
Answer:
m+7
Step-by-step explanation:
If she ran 7 minutes longer and m represents the amount of time she ran, then it would just be addition.
Let's say m=60 minutes. She would've ran for 67 minutes, which is also m+7.
Let the number of nickels found be n, the number of dimes be d and the number of quarters be q.
i) "you have twice as many quarters as dimes and 42 coins in all."
means that 2d=q, and n+d+q=42
we can reduce the number of unknowns by substituting q with 2d:
n+d+q=42
n+d+2d=42
n+3d=42
We can write all n, d and q in terms of d as follows:
there are n=42-3d nickels, d dimes and q=2d quarters.
ii) In total there are $6.60 dollars,
1 nickel = 5 cent = $0.05
1 dime = 10 cent = $0.1
1 quarter = 25 cent = $0.25
thus
(42-3d)*0.05 + d*0.1 +2d*0.25= $6.60
2.1 - 0.15d+0.1d+0.5d=6.60
2.1+0.45d=6.6
0.45d=6.6-2.1=4.5
d=4.5/0.45=10
iii)
so, there are 10 dimes, 2d=2*10=20 quarters and 42-3d=42-3*10=12 nickels.
Answer: 10 dimes, 20 quarters, 12 nickels
